 BIOGRAPHICAL.
 The deceased was born in New York City, on the I8'h of Marca, 1347. and was therefore just over forty years of age al the time of his death. His mother died when he was quite young, before he could remember her, and from the time he Was nine years old the boy was thrown upon ms own re- sources for a living. He went to Chicago while quite lad, at ,he time that city was just rising into commercial importance, and after en. gazing in several occupations he be. came driver of the buggy belonging l to one of the sub chiets of the fire de- | partment. He had probably acquired | a liking for fighting fires in his youa. | ger days in New York. These were i the days of volunteer firemen when if was the ambition of every boy to run wid the machine" However tlat may have been, his duties in | Chicago were to remain with the bug. gy on the outskirts of the contlagration while hIs employer attended to con ductIng the operations of the depart. ment, but the boys passion for tiremens work was so strong that he would desert the buggy and take hand in lghting the flames, on several oc- caslons dolng good service. It was soon found out that he was no good Tor taking care of a buggy while fire vas going on, So he had either to be discharged or be placed in active ser 'Ice as a member of the fire depart nent. The latter was done, and on account of showing an unusual apti- ude for the work, he became fire nan at very early age for such position. II
